Donate $5 for Japan Relief and We'll Double It

Due to Friday's 9.0-magnitude earthquake, tsunami, and subsequent after shocks, Japan is suffering from what its prime minister is calling the "worst crisis since WWII." The country's northern coast has been totally devastated, leaving the land and the people in ruins. Just like you, we here at LivingSocial want to lend a hand, so we are going to match your donations. For each $5 donation through this offer, we will also donate $5 to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami fund. Our thoughts go out to everyone affected by this tragedy, and hope that by merging our efforts with yours and working directly with the American Red Cross, we can help with immediate aid and long-term recovery plans in Japan.

The American Red Cross name and emblem are used with its permission, which is no way constitutes an endorsement, express or implied, of any product, service, company, opinion or political position.

Your gift to the American Red Cross will support disaster relief efforts to help those affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. For each $5 donation made, LivingSocial will donate an additional $5 to the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Fund up to a maximum of $1,000,000 in matching funds.

On those rare occasions when donations exceed American Red Cross expenses for a specific disaster, contributions are used to prepare for and serve victims of other disasters.

The American Red Cross will not receive your contact information. Should you require a receipt from the American Red Cross, please donate at http://www.redcross.org.
